Chapter 2: Escape From Acme Lab


"And with the contestants up and running, it is now time to head down to our first event, Escape From Acme Lab!" Vic exclaimed, "To tell us all about it, here's The Captain."

The camera suddenly switched over to an open football field, where Captain Tenneal was standing with a grin left plastered on his face.

"Thanks, Vic! For those of you wondering what this game is, it's called Escape From Acme Lab." The Captain nodded before explaining the rules full-on. "The rules are as simple as this. It's where teams of two must attempt to get through this purple gate, then crawl inside an electrified net, followed by grabbing this small white envelope you see here dangling on this rope. Inside the envelope will contain a number between one through six. Whichever number our contestants drew must roll a cart full of these huge Acme boxes all towards the finish line. The first team of contestants to make it past this finish line wins. Anyway, godspeed." Captain nodded yet again.

Kenny then replied off-screen, "Yeah, the boxes are filled with fake Acme dynamite inside if anyone wants to know."

"Right you are, Ken!" Vic nodded, "And with that taken care of, let's introduce our two teams!"

With the Captain stepping aside for the time being, the camera scrolled right over to see the first two teams standing behind the starting gate. The first team that was shown next was a man and woman, in which one of them had brown hair, a brown coat, purple vest, silver boots and a headband-like headgear around his face while the other was decked out in a green-yellow jumpsuit with a dark green jacket and white streak that glide all the way down her beautiful long brown hair.

"From X-Men: The Animated Series, we've got Gambit and Rogue!" Vic exclaimed.

"We're also mutants!" Gambit shouted out.

Rogue then pointed to him before saying, "And I'm also his girlfriend!"

"Hey Vic, I know that this has nothing to do with the game," Kenny pointed out. "But I must say that Mutant Rights Matter, and will always matter."

"Indeed!" Vic nodded, "And now let's see the team they're facing against."

The camera then scrolled over to the other team, which consisted of two middle aged men from Animaniacs in which the first man was bald and had a lab-coat with clear blue glasses, while the other male beside him was dressed in a blue security guard uniform and looked very overweight.

"Hey look, it's Dr. Otto Scratch-n-sniff and his fat guard friend." Kenny pointed out.

"Kenny, his name is Ralph!" Vic said, smacking Ken in the head with his fan.

"Ow!" Kenny replied in pain, "Okay, sorry I didn't know."

"Hey, uh, how come we don't have anything to say, Doc?" Ralph said to Dr. Otto.

Dr. Otto then shrugged to Ralph before saying, "I don't know, okay? Don't ask me!"

"Haha, Ralph looks almost like Curly from the Three Stooges." Kenny pointed.

"Well, he does bear resemblance to him, I concur." Vic nodded before saying to the Captain, "Captain, do the honors will you?"

The Captain immediately nodded over to Vic before he raised his starting pistol up in the air and shouted, "GET IT ON!"

Once the Captain shot his pistol, the two teams immediately took off running and sprinting like hell, all except for Ralph who ended up tripping on his face much to Kenny's laughter.

"Ha, the big security guard fell flat on his face!" Kenny snickered in exchange.

"Not a good start for Dr. Otto's team there." Vic shook his head, "That's definitely gonna cost them."

"Yeah, I think that Gambit and Rogue already got this one in the bag." Kenny stated.

Vic nodded before saying, "We'll see if you're right for sure."

Both Gambit and Rogue immediately got through the purple gate while at the same time Dr. Otto Scratch-n-sniff was struggling to get Ralph on his feet.

"Get up, you idiot! We're falling behind!" Dr. Otto shouted to his friend.

"Ah, but mommy, I don't want the warm milk!" Ralph said to himself, all while looking jumbled and disoriented, "Give me the cold milk, that one's better."

Kenny immediately found it in himself to laugh boisterously, "Did he actually just knock himself out?"

"I think you may be right, Ken!" Vic nodded back.

As Dr. Otto still attempted to drag Ralph along to the first gate, the camera scrolled all the way back to the electrified net where Gambit and Rogue were crawling fast and furiously inside in order to get through the pain that was getting inflicted to him thanks to the multiple volts.

"Look at Gambit and Rogue killing it here!" Kenny quickly pointed out, "It's like the pain's not even affecting them one bit."

"They're mutants, Ken. What else can you expect from the X-Men?" Vic said, shrugging over to Ken.

While the two kept on crawling all the way to the end, the camera scrolled right back to both Dr. Otto and Ralph who were struggling to get past the first gate. Well, Dr. Otto only managed to make it through the gate himself, but he had one problem though:

Ralph was too overweight to get through the gate himself, knowing his belly fat was way too big to slide through the entire gate.

"Uh-oh, Ralph's stuck!" Vic pointed out.

Kenny nodded to what Vic said on that statement, forcing him to nod, "No kidding, he really needs to hit a gym. What was he thinking coming here looking out of shape?"

"He probably wasn't thinking at all, Ken!" Vic replied.

Dr. Otto attempted to pull Ralph through the gate, only for the doctor's back to break in half, forcing him down on the floor and withering in excruciating pain.

"AGH, MY POOR ACHING BACK!" The German doctor yelled out.

"Oh, that definitely can't be good for Dr. Otto!" Vic shook his head.

"Yeah, I seriously think he needs to see a chiropractor!" Kenny said out in unison, "Heck, maybe even a priest."

"I think you might be right!" Vic nodded, agreeing with his partner.

Meanwhile, Gambit and Rogue were on a roll though as they found themselves crawling out of the electrified net before going over to the rope and pulling out a numbered envelope. The two drew out a #2 and #5 before they raced right over to the carts and pulled them respectively in force due to the mass of those Acme boxes.

"Look at that tremendous teamwork between Gambit and Rogue there!" Kenny pointed out quickly, "They would've been perfect for our couples episode way back."

"Once again, I agree." Vic nodded.

To no surprise to everyone watching, Gambit and Rogue immediately crossed the finish line altogether, making them the first team to score for Fox Kids Action.

"And take a look at that, Ken, both Gambit and Rogue score for their team." Vic replied, "Let's go check out on Dr. Otto and Ralph and see if they're faring any better."

The camera scrolled over to the right yet again to see Dr. Otto, who had an ice-pack strapped to his back, attempted to pull out Ralph from the purple gate he got himself stuck in.

"Pull through… you… big… lug…" The Doctor hissed in struggling pain.

Kenny found himself shaking his head before saying to Vic, "Okay, I'm just gonna say this, I think the Doc should've chosen that Hello Nurse chick he hangs out with instead."

"I concur with that logic, Ken!" Vic agreed.

Dr. Otto attempted to pull non-stop before he finally managed to pull Ralph out of the gate head-on with a big POP…

…only for Ralph to land on top of Dr. Otto, squashing him like a pancake!

"OH, DEAR GOD!" Vic said with a frightened shriek.

"MY GAWD!" Kenny gulped in fear, "I THINK RALPH JUST SQUISHED HIM IN HALF!"

"I'll tell you, that is not a good position for Dr. Otto to be in Ken, that's for sure." Vic nodded.

Kenny then replied with a smirk, "I know what it's gonna be good for, and that's the fact it's our MXC Impact Replay!"

As the rest of the EMT's ran to the field in order to help Dr. Otto out of Ralph, the MXC Impact Replay started playing out in its entirety, mostly focusing on the part when Dr. Otto pulled Ralph out of the gate and landed on him with a splat.

"Good gravy, Dr. Otto got crushed worse than when Luan Loud got crushed by Skanky in that Loud House special we did." Kenny said to Vic first-handedly.

"Except this time it's a fat security guard instead of a big-headed samurai." Vic nodded once more, "But either way, that's a painful memory Dr. Otto's gonna wish it didn't happen to him! So aside from that, let's go down to the second race!"

Once the Impact Replay finally ended, the camera switched over to the other two teams that were now standing next to the starting gate. The first team the camera focused on involved two teenagers who were dressed in both a blue jumpsuit and black jumpsuit with helmets covering their faces.

"From Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, "Blue Ranger" Billy Cranston and "Black Ranger" Zack Taylor!"

"I'm a nerd!" Billy exclaimed to the camera.

"Yeah, he really is." Zack said with a smirk while pointing to Billy.

The second team the camera focused on next were two young teenage anthropomorphic rabbits in which the teenager on the left had blue fur and a red sweatshirt while the other to the right had pink fur with a yellow sweatshirt and a purple skirt.

"And from Tiny Toon Adventures, we got Buster and Babs Bunny!"

"We're tiny and toony!" Buster shouted out.

Babs then shouted out to the camera, "And all a little loony!"

"Indeed, they are!" Vic exclaimed before saying, "Captain, do the honors!"

With both teams setting into a three-point stance, the Captain immediately raised his starting pistol in the air before shouting, "GET IT ON!"

He shot the pistol right away as both teams immediately raced over to the first gate, where both Power Rangers and Tiny Toons passed through without any trouble.

"Oh, looks like things are going fast and furious here, Ken!" Vic pointed out.

"Yeah we've got two favorite duos here duking it out, Vic." Kenny stated, "This is gonna be one that the old FOX Kids fan will enjoy."

"Right you are, Ken!" Vic nodded, agreeing with Ken again.

After they got past the gate though, the two teams went under the electrifying net, crawling as fast as they could in order to suffer less damage from the shocks. Much to the Power Rangers surprise though, they look over to see Buster and Babs crawling through at breakneck speed, beating them by a mile.

"Man, those Power Rangers are getting beat by a duo of rabbits, Vic." Kenny said with a smirk.

Vic nodded at that statement before saying, "Well, they are considered to be quick and agile on their feet, so that's no surprise there!"

"Yeah they certainly show that in Tiny Toons, Vic." Kenny replied.

After the two crawled out of the net, Buster and Babs then raced right over to the envelopes just to open them right away, which Buster had drawn a "1" and Babs had drawn "4". While that was also happening though, the Blue and Black Ranger managed to get through the electrified net themselves, all while they ended up grabbing their respective envelopes as well.

"This is quickly turning into a back and forth war." Vic pointed out.

"Yeah, you don't know how much these two teams want to score right now." Kenny nodded, "It's almost like watching a Super Bowl or something."

"It does, doesn't it, Ken?" Vic chuckled before saying, "Anyway, Buster and Babs drew 1 and 4 and as you see right there, Billy and Zack drew both a 2 and 3. You can tell this one's gonna be very close, Ken!"

Once the two teams grabbed onto the handles of their carts, both Power Rangers and Tiny Toons proceeded to race them toward the finish line with Babs and Buster once again gaining an early lead against the Power Rangers.

"Oh man, Vic, this one's gonna be close!" Kenny said with anticipation.

The Power Rangers looked to catch up to them at the minute when all of a sudden, Billy ended up tripping on his feet and falling down with a thud!

"Oh, what a fall!" Vic gasped.

"Billy took quite a tumble, Vic!" Kenny pointed out, all while smirking.

"You're definitely right, Ken!" Vic nodded back in return.

Zack immediately saw this go down to the point where he let go of his cart and checked on his fallen partner. While at the same time that was happening though, the team of Buster and Babs crossed the finish line scoring a point for their comedy team.

"And the Tiny Toons score it up, Vic!" Kenny pointed out again.

"Indeed, all it took was a mistake from Billy to cost the Power Rangers big time!" Vic nodded once more, "I'll tell you, you definitely hate to see mistakes like these happen in MXC."

"Billy fell harder than a Bulk and Skull prank gone wrong." Kenny replied.

"Indeed," Vic replied as well, "Let's go down to Guy and check on the Power Rangers himself."

As Zack escorted Billy off of the football field, they were soon approached by Guy LeDouche who approached the two men, mostly Billy as he looked very concerned for him.

"Are you alright? You took quite a hard fall." Guy asked him closeup.

Billy replied with a simple nod, "Yeah, I'm okay. Being a nerd, I'm used to falling on my face."

"That probably would've helped if you weren't wearing glasses underneath your helmet." Guy suggested.

"Hey come on now, Guy!" Zach said in defense of Billy, "No need to be like that!"

"What did I say? I was just trying to help!" Guy said, shrugging his shoulders as if he did nothing wrong.

"Well, you're only making things worse!" Zack snapped at Guy before looking at Billy, "C'mon, Billy. Let's get you some help."

"Oh, perhaps I took that a little far." Guy said to himself. He then shook it off and asked Zack as he was walking off, "How come you look like Eddie Winslow?"

Zack looked toward Guy with an annoyed look before smacking Guy right upside his head, forcing his pith hat to be knocked off in return.

"Oh boy, Vic!" Kenny groaned, facepalming himself before saying to Vic, "I can tell that didn't go well."

"I know, Guy's first day back really hurt." Vic nodded, "But other than that, we had two tremendous races so far between two teams and so far, Fox Kids Action and Fox Kids Comedy have opened things up with a tie 1-1!"

After the entire score was shown for people to see, the camera soon shifted back to the studio where Kenny and Vic were now standing next to what seemed to be a gray coyote wearing red sneakers.

"Hey Vic, what's up with this weird looking dog wearing sneakers?" Kenny asked with a smirk.

"Kenny, it's not a dog, it's a coyote." Vic said, smacking Ken in the head with his fan. "Actually, he's not just any coyote, this just happens to be a young prodigy skilled with some of the most explosives anyone can ever possess."

"You mean like Wile E. Coyote or his cousin Ralph Wolf?" Kenny asked yet again.

"Yep, his name's Calamity Coyote from Acme Looniversity." Vic replied to Ken before looking down to ask Calamity, "I see you're here to show us how explosions work here on this show right?

Although he couldn't speak of course, Calamity did in fact hold a sign up that said "That is correct." for both Kenny and Vic to see.

"Isn't that the same place Babs and Buster Bunny went to school or something?" Kenny asked Vic yet again.

"That is correct, my friend." Vic nodded to his partner before once again asking Calamity, "Anyway, what do you have planned for us?"

Once again, he couldn't speak but instead, Calamity held up another long sign that said, "You may not know it, but Captain Tenneal is out in the woods doing his "business" and me and our fellow interns are gonna blow up a big explosive underground just as a way to trick him."

"Well Ken, that oughta catch your interest." Vic smirked to Ken.

"Oh sweet, I love explosions. They're cool." Kenny smirked back.

"I agree, Ken." Vic nodded before pointing to Calamity, "Okay, Calamity, hit it."

Calamity nodded right away before he grabbed the bomb detonator in his hands and pressed it entirely. But once he did though…

*BOOM!*

A bomb suddenly exploded underneath Kenny, forcing him to be burned in a very cartoon-ish effect.

"Agggggh…" Kenny shuddered in pain while sputtering out dust from his mouth. He turned to Vic a bit weakly before asking, "What the heck was that?"

Calamity immediately pulled up a sign that read, "Perhaps I put the bomb in the wrong place."

"Oh, ya think?" Vic said before whacking Calamity in the head with his fan.

"Haha, you got whacked!" Kenny smirked to Calamity.

Vic then turned to Kenny and whacked him with his fan, "Shut up, Kenny!"
